Hegseth Explodes Media Coverage on Iran Strikes: Accuses of Rooting Against Trump, Ignoring Heroism

In a fiery Pentagon briefing, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at the media, accusing them of "cheering against Trump" and downplaying the success of Operation Midnight Hammer — a bold series of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Hegseth defended the mission’s results, slammed leaks of low-confidence intelligence reports, and praised the courage of American pilots and defense crews. With tensions high and politics in play, the Secretary warned that biased reporting could overshadow what he called a “historic” blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. #Hegseth #IranStrikes #TrumpNews #PentagonBriefing #USAirstrikes #OperationMidnightHammer #MediaBias #PeteHegseth #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #USvsIran #TrumpAdministration #MilitaryNews #DefenseDepartment Also Read Sajindas Devidas Reveals How AI-Driven Nudges Are Quietly Redefining User Behavior :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/sajindas-devidas-reveals-how-ai-driven-nudges-are-quietly-redefining-user-behavior-4166947.html?ref=DMDesc Power Of Reusability: Creating Configurable Payroll Rules That Scale Across Modules" By Rajagopal Arputham :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/the-power-of-reusability-creating-configurable-payroll-rules-that-scale-across-modules-by-rajagopal-4164205.html?ref=DMDesc article testing new :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/article-testing-new-4058241.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.122~

'Every Weapon Had a Target. None Missed': Pentagon Details Chilling Precision of Iran Strike

The Pentagon revealed that every weapon deployed in the recent U.S. strike on Iran had a pre-assigned target — and none missed. Officials emphasized the unprecedented precision of the operation, which focused on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and command hubs. The statement underscores the effectiveness of American airpower, particularly the deployment of GBU-57 bunker busters, and suggests a major degradation of Iran’s strategic capabilities. #USAttacksIran #FordowStrike #IranNuclearSite #TrumpIranStrike #IsraelAttacksIran #IranIsraelWar #USIranConflict #FordowFacilityHit #PentagonStrikeDetails #IranUnderAttack #IranNuclearCollapse #BunkerBusterStrike #IranFordowAttack #MiddleEastTensions #USPrecisionStrike ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.420~GR.124~

Hegseth Says Houthi Red Sea Defeat As 'Tailored Operation' | Critics Slam Hegseth As ‘Attempt To...’

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has described America’s widely perceived failure against Yemen’s Houthis as a “tailored operation,” claiming the goal was freedom of navigation and not the protection of Israeli-linked vessels. Notably, Hegseth made no mention of Israel during his statement. Critics argue the Pentagon has rebranded a humiliating military result, after months of failed deterrence against Houthi strikes in the Red Sea. The Pentagon's shifting rhetoric has sparked fresh debate over U.S. credibility, especially in light of its deep alliance with Israel. #Hegseth #HouthiAttacks #RedSeaConflict #PentagonNews #USNavy #MiddleEastCrisis #IsraelAlly #TailoredOperation #MilitaryFailure #HegsethStatement #FreedomOfNavigation #RedSeaWar #HouthisVsUS #USMilitary #IsraelNotMentioned #GazaWarImpact #USDefeat #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #YemenConflict ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

Houthis BLASTS Israel’s Beersheba Key Sites With Hypersonic Missile | Civilians FLEE To Shelters

Just days after a major ceasefire between Iran and Israel, the Houthi rebels have resumed their missile attacks. Air raid sirens sounded in southern Israel after a ballistic missile, launched from Yemen, reportedly struck near Beersheba. Houthi leadership claims the strike is retaliation for Israel’s ongoing operations in Gaza. With over 25 missiles and drones launched this month alone, the group warns of continued attacks until Israeli offensives stop. The renewed violence threatens to derail ceasefire negotiations, even as President Trump promises a Gaza truce “by next week.” #IsraelUnderAttack #HouthiForces #MiddleEastCrisis #MissileStrike #GazaBlockade #Airstrike #BreakingNews #YemenVsIsrael #BenGurionAirport #DroneAttack #MahdiAlMashat #MilitaryTensions #HypersonicMissile #ConflictUpdate #AirTrafficDisrupted #InvestorWarning #RetaliationStrike #MiddleEastWar #GazaSupport #IDFAirports #InternationalCrisis #NoFlyZone #AirportStrike #YemenNews #IsraelNews #DefenseAlert #AirRaid #GlobalTensions Also Read 'You Got Beat To Hell': Donald Trump On Iran's Victory Claim :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/you-got-beat-to-hell-donald-trump-on-irans-victory-claim-7785327.html?ref=DMDesc Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc Iranian Citizens Contemplate Future After 12-Day War and US-Brokered Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/12-day-war-ceasefire-iran-future-concerns-011-7783479.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.125~

Houthis Vow to Sink U.S Warships | Iran Blames Israel for 'Great Crime'|Khamenei Warns of Punishment

Tensions in the Middle East are spiraling. Iran has denied launching the missile intercepted by Israel near Eilat, claiming it was fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei warns Israel of severe punishment for what he called a “great crime” — referring to Israel and America’s recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. The Houthis have issued direct threats against U.S. warships in the Red Sea, declaring full support for Tehran and vowing retaliation. With Iran’s next missile wave still pending under “Operation True Promise-3,” the region is bracing for a major escalation.

Iran Prepares MISSILE STRIKES On U.S Bases As Trump Threatens To KILL Khamenei | Tehran's BIG threat

According to a New York Times report, Iran has positioned missiles and other military assets to strike U.S. bases in the region if Washington joins Israel’s war against Tehran. As the war enters its 6th day, Iran has already launched heavy missile attacks on Tel Aviv, with devastating impacts. Security experts warn that if the U.S. targets Iran’s underground Fordo nuclear site, Tehran may retaliate by mining the Strait of Hormuz and escalating Red Sea attacks through Houthi forces. Fears of a wider Middle East war are growing by the hour. #IronDome #FatehMissile #KheibarShekan #HypersonicMissiles #HaifaUnderAttack #IranMissileStrike #TruePromiseIII #IsraelIranConflict #MiddleEastWar #HypersonicMissiles #HaifaNews #TehranStrikes #IDFResponse #IranianMissiles #RafaelFactory #HaifaBlackout #OilRefineryHit #AirDefenseFailure #HajQasem #MissileWar #BreakingNews #IsraelNews ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.124~

Iran’s Allies Strike! Houthis BOMBARD Israel’s Tel Aviv with Hypersonic Missiles in Escalation Blitz

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis launched hypersonic ballistic missiles targeting Tel Aviv’s sensitive military and civilian sites. The coordinated assault followed Iran’s mass missile salvo, with Houthi forces confirming that "Palestine 2" missiles struck central Israel’s Jaffa region. Israel had earlier bombed a top Houthi commander in Yemen. The Houthis declared solidarity with Gaza and Iran, vowing more strikes unless Israel ends the siege. The assault marks the first direct Houthi attack inside Israeli territory, further escalating regional tensions and drawing in Iran's proxy networks. #HouthiAttack #IsraelUnderFire #BallisticMissiles #HypersonicStrike #IranIsraelTensions #MiddleEastWar #IDF #YemenWar #GazaSiege #Palestine2Missiles #IranBackedStrike #TehranProxy #TelAvivAttack #HouthiStatement #AxisOfResistance #MissileStrikeIsrael #ZionistAggression #HouthiRetaliation #WarEscalation #BreakingNews
